World Cup 2023 | The presence of Giannis Antetokounmpo is increasingly uncertain

The great uncertainty is confirmed around the presence of Giannis Antekounmpo at the World Cup this summer. While the first information on this subject evoked an injury to the leg of the “Greek Freak”, The Athletic clarifies that the Bucks superstar actually underwent minor knee surgery two weeks ago.

No doubt an arthroscopy, to “clean” his knee and thus free it from pain. In any case, his participation in the World Cup with Greece (already deprived of Kostas Sloukas) is increasingly uncertain, and we imagine that the Bucks will not give him the green light without the certainty that he is 100% physically.

A blow if this is confirmed for the formation of Dimitris Itoudis, who will cross swords with Jordan, New Zealand and especially Team USA in Group C.
